Billion 7800n Router

Spent the last two days trying to get internet access (wired connection) on this new router but no matter what I do no success.
Have entered settings as shown on my configuartion page (user name, password, dns and so on)
Could anyone please give me a helping hand ?
Many thanks Huh Cry

I and 2 others I know have this router working fine on PN.
Are you seeing a green light on DSL on the front?

Re: Billion 7800n Router

Despite many resets and re-entering info sadly still no joy, think it's time to take back to the retailer
Anyone able to recommend a good alternative router/modem ?

I also have a 7800N, my second.
The first one died within 24 hours and was returned.
The second is working perfectly and holds the ADSL rock solid.
Where did you buy it from?

Re: Billion 7800n Router

Purchased it from Maplin - gave it another go this evening, another wasted two hours, no problem accessing the router but unable to obtain internet access.
The data entered (user/password) is exactly the same as entered on my old Belkin (which thankfully works fine)
Day off tomorrow so think a trip to my local Maplin store is on the cards!
